God still has work to do concerning our outward man, and we still have work to do concerning our inward man. While He has yet to redeem our physical bodies, which are falling apart, we should focus on our inward man, which should be growing.
The key to Christian living is letting Jesus Christ teach you how He wants to live His life in and through you. It is not something you struggle to do, but something you daily learn from His Word rightly divided. Faith causes the Holy Spirit to take that Word and change your thinking processes, and that will change your conduct to fit God’s grace.
Colossians 3:10 adds: “And [ye] have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him….”
See also:
- Rom 12:1-2 ...be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind
- Eph 4:20-23 ...and be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
We are to be daily building up the inner man through knowledge and obedience to God's Word, preparing for the day when God relocates it to the new outward man….
